If Google have that information, US government agencies have access to it as well, and will use it, even if you don't belong to any company. And definately would call evil any patent/company that basically forbids joking
Is not just collection. You face consequences for false positives. And anything you said could be used against you, even if a joke in a private mail (if you ever said something they didn't like).
So you are walking in thin ice, you could get big charges for something that you don't see as a crime (or see it as a joke or a prank). And people do weird things in that kind of situations,
In the current stage of pushed cyberwar, to use and force to use such insecure systems (that even Microsoft recognizes it should give a hint) is so cute, just asking everyone to be part of something bigger...like a botnet. That it be in a government site on which depends (and must visit) a lot of people makes it a nice target.
You could use passwords best practices (long, upper/lowercase+symbols+digits) so have your name and address as password, but that is not safe, no matter what password strenght checking program tells you.
We get that information too, just that we aren't usually very aware of it. And if well having visual and audio input is a mostly solved issue, some others could be more difficult, like smell, touch (not just press, feeling textures matter too), temperature, acceleration, and others, specially when all must be consistent. Getting into a virtual world with just 1 or 2 senses getting new information while all the others keep giving basically the same static input means that we will have a lot of inactive capacity.
My idea was more of the "few keys, but very dynamic" kind. But probably will be a hell to try to type in something where what are in each position changes every keypress, and even more with your fingers blocking view.
That is QT/QML means that it could be ported (or just recompiled) to Linux, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish, or other platforms that don't have QT included but that is available (and that means most of alternatives). Is not a dead end, but a good training camp if not successful. Focusing where possible in what is not platform specific will help too.
Using the input method of a bulky device (whose letters were ordered that way to not let you write too fast to avoid jamming of mechanical parts) with fixed letter positions for very high tech, digital small devices, with no mechanical parts that could jam could not be the best approach.
Maybe entry could be arranged like in compressing algorithms, having the most common letters and words right at your reach (few bits/touches) and you could navigate to more uncommon ones that fits in your input. Or handwritting recognition, but with extended "alphabet" (where you can have different gestures for i.e. common words). Or hardware keyboards with soft keys.
Heck, if the government already cant see all that you type, people that you don't know and could put you in big trouble (or at least, big inspection next time you go to an airport) if don't get the joke of something you said, why can't the people around you, that you already know?
Thats the culprit. A bad meme that goes deep into our culture. Somewhat (tales, histories, songs, movies that we learn since childhood) we expect that the people that behave well get successful, and the evil ones get punished. But when is becoming too evident that it don't happen at all (bankers, corporations, and politicians in general, get richer, or even get honored for what they did), you only hope against depression is to believe that they will go to hell as they will never be punished here.
My first idea was that it should work even better in battery power devices, where the only device that uses power is the notebook/cellphone/whatever that uses lcd or display tech similar enough. But in the other hand, CPU/GPU/disk/fan etc also weights there. And shouldn't be them a factor in desktop PCs too?
These cameras are not there to stop criminals or terrorists. Is to stop you, the normal citizen. How you react every time you get aware of being robbed, manipulated, used, lied, etc by banks, government, corporations, or big media, iand that it will keep happening unless you do something? Well, that doing is what must be stopped.
Maybe this could give you a hint. Looks like a small factor, but is critical for validating whatever you want to do with the code. If is the start of a trend, better to be in a safe zone, i.e. elsewhere.
Depend on how you define "best". But if market followed the technical best we all would be using. don't know, maybe OS/2 and programming in Ada. As we aren't in that idillic world, we have to deal with what is in use this one. Sometimes you have to live with "good enough for most simple uses", even if are used in environments/ways that are beyond its capacity.
Probably wasn't "the" reason, but was one of the strong ones. Java and Solaris should be the other components, with Solaris maybe being the most strategical ones.
And yes, MySQL competes against Oracle in what matter most to the company: support contracts. There is a bunch of databases with better features than MySQL, but it have by the market (or at least, as most aren't sales, the users, or the amount of installations).
Nothing is "more dangerous" than something that will kill you for almost sure, unless it also could spread and kill others. But as you said, odds that turns into something viable and lethal are low, and adding that it should becoming contagious will make it far less likely.
If well those bacterias are targetting in a way or another tumours, their radiation they carry could cause on them random changes on the ADN that could lead to more dangerous diseases?
If well MariaDB is backward compatible with MySQL, have some advantages on its own, like more choices for storage engines (i.e. Aria as a better myisam than myisam, xtradb instead of innodb, and others), and should have better performance in general than Mysql for the same equivalent version in the same hardware.
That Oracle is being bad right now with their concept of "open" (like suing Google for using Java) is an extra motivation.

If is a backdoor, then the antivirus itself is malware. If you don't want to be between a rock and a hard place, stay out the windows.

Doing it in a country where you can be sued for running a proxy adds a little spice.

Mozilla will lose. Probably government is one of the main clients of that company.

There is nothing you can do about it anyway. So enjoy the trip.
At least BSODs will be more meaningful in real life.
Some artists could disagree. And is not like are the artists the ones that are losing the lion's share on this.

This is not about religion, but about the placebo effect in a new area. Fits right here,

So thats why police don't let you film them?
